BOX SCORE (COMING SOON)

REDDING, Calif. – With the temperature reaching triple digits at kickoff, Corban's men's soccer team withstood the heat scoring three first half goals en route to defeating CalPac member Simpson, 3-2, Saturday at the Simpson Soccer Field.

In the third minute, freshman Derik Chaney (Helena, Mont.) put the Warriors on the scoreboard via a shot up and over Simpson's keeper for an early 1-0 lead. Two minutes later, junior Aaron Kinnes (Gladstone, Ore.) teamed with freshman Josh Hamilton (Portland, Ore.) for his team-leading third goal of the season to put the visiting Warriors up 2-0.

After playing even soccer over the next 30-plus minutes, Corban put the game away when Hamilton netted the Warriors' third goal of the game in the 37th minute for a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.

Despite a pair of second half goals by Simpson in the final 15 minutes of play, Corban held on for the victory to even its non-conference record at 2-2.

With today's win, Corban concludes its non-conference schedule with two wins and two losses. Meanwhile, Simpson falls to 1-3 on the season. The Warriors will be back in action on Tuesday, September 13th, when they host the NAIA's No. 17-ranked Cavaliers of Concordia in the Cascade Collegiate Conference opener for both teams beginning at 4:00 p.m. in Salem.
